When browser connects to a specific page, it sends in it's header it's user agent (the browser/mobile ID) which can be used to the page to display better results, etc. User Agent is defined by RFC 1945 and RFC 2068. This is a sample of the string:

//HTTP_USER_AGENT=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows NT; DigExt)

User Agent header rules

S60 3rd Edition

OSS Browser (Web browser) - HTML, XHTML-MP

In S60 3rd Edition this browser is not the default browser. It may be featured in the Active Standby menu bar or in the menu grid, but it will not be opened when URL is selected in another application (e.g. message).

• Original UA string on S60 3.0 Web browser:

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.1; U; [en-us]) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413

• "Rogue" UA strings that might ship on some uncorrected 3.0 devices:

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.1; U; [en]; SymbianOS/91 Series60/3.0) AppleWebkit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.1; U; en-us) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413 es61

• Final UA string for newer S60 3.0 builds:

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.1; U; [en]; Series60/3.0 NokiaE60/4.06.0) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413

Services (WAP) Browser - XHTML-MP, WML

The original S60 WAP browser is still the default browser in S60 3rd Edition, but has been renamed “Services” (in S60 2nd Edition it is called “Web”).

The Services browser User-Agent string follows the old format on most devices, but unfortunately there may be some variation

In S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 the Nokia Web browser is the only browser included. All invocation of a browser will launch this browser.

The User-Agent header for the browser is:
